And Mangini is not only the best drummer also he is the best teacher. He is 60 years old, but excited as a child while teaching something. And of course Shawn has been a great drummer as someone who has studied these systems. And now he has taken an important role in the design of the system. This video is just perfect 👍

This interview is so deeply satisfying to watch, I love the interaction between Mike and Shawn. I'm not musician, but I love music and I know how it can impact one's life, so everybody who helps people play the music they want to play is my man.
In fact, I work as a teacher and as an editor, so believe me: there's nothing better for a teacher than watch his student getting more advanced and happy with what he's doing - but there's also nothing better for an editor than to help an author to articulate his ideas and see "your author" being so happy about the outcome as Mike obviously is. So, big thumbs up for you, Shawn!
And not to forget - great interview, thank you, Drumming News Network, I'm subscribing to this channel!

I went through the rhythm knowledge books several times and I can agree with everything said. I keep finding myself going back to these books very very often to the point of traveling with them.

I would buy the Rhythm Knowledge books but Mike's shopify site doesn't ship to the UK, any chance of these on Amazon or Ebay where those sites handle the UK VAT / Customs?

[@DrummingNewsNetwork]

I will see what his plans are and get back to you.
